Bike— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and correct grammatical errors. Start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid repetition and incorrect verb forms (e.g., ‘drive bike’ → ‘ride a bike’).

Example: Yes, I did. When I was younger I often rode my bike to buy breakfast and to go to school. Also, my father taught me how to ride when I was about eight, which made me feel confident cycling on busy streets.

Suggestion: Improve coherence by using linking words and more precise vocabulary (use ‘ride’ instead of ‘drive’ for bikes). Provide one specific example or brief comparison to support your view to make the answer more vivid.

Example: Yes, bikes are very popular. For example, many adults ride bikes in the mornings for exercise, and students often cycle to school because it is cheaper and faster than taking the bus.

× And at that time my father taught, taught me how to drive bike.

✓ And at that time my father taught me how to ride a bike.

The verb phrase should use 'ride' not 'drive' when referring to bicycles. Also 'taught, taught' is a repetition; use a single 'taught'. Finally, countable noun 'bike' needs an article 'a'. Suggestion: remove duplicate word, use 'ride' for bicycles and include the article 'a'.

× Yes, of course when I was younger I had a bike then I I used the bike to buy breakfast or maybe go went to school.

✓ Yes, of course. When I was younger I had a bike. I used the bike to buy breakfast or to go to school.

The sentence has tense and word-form errors and duplication. Use past tense consistently: 'was' and 'had' are correct; 'used' is fine but 'go went' is redundant and incorrect. For purpose expressions use 'to' + base verb: 'to go to school'. Also add punctuation to separate ideas and remove the repeated 'I'. Suggestion: break into shorter sentences, remove duplication, and use 'to go' for purpose.

× I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people drive them for exercise and to save money on transport, and children often cycle to school and women also use bikes for short trips around town.

✓ I think bikes are quite popular in my country. Many people ride them for exercise and to save money on transport, children often cycle to school, and women also use bikes for short trips around town.

The verb 'drive' is usually used for motor vehicles; use 'ride' for bicycles (word choice overlaps preposition/verb use). Also the original sentence had a comma splice; better to separate clauses with commas and conjunctions. Suggestion: use 'ride' with bicycles and ensure proper clause linking with commas and 'and'.
